We just completed recording a 10 song album, "SPOKE TOO LOUD", and it was released privately on July 11th @ Humphreys by the Bay in San Diego, Ca. The album is due to hit shelves locally September 11th, 2007 and will be available nationally as soon as we get some distribution, which is in the works. The Album is available through Itunes worldwide, Emusic, Sony connect, Napster, And Rhapsody.
"Spoke Too Loud" was produced, engineered, and mastered by 3 time SDMA Producer of the year Sven-Erik Seaholm @ Kitsch & Sync studios (this guy is amazing). Sheila Sondergärd is releasing her album "SPOKE TOO LOUD" wholly independent, and doing a grass roots campaign to get her album out there. We are currently booking shows throughout San Diego and abroad, as well as sending in the Promo packs to college and independent radio stations worldwide, Music magazines too. So any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
In the beginning of 2007, Sheila teamed up with five of San Diego's very best musicians, forming a band of world caliber talent. Their music is extremely diverse and boundary less, yet cohesive, intelligent, and thought provoking. We call it Intellipop, A sound that spans the genres of Jazz, Folk, Acoustic, Rock, Alternative, Reggae, Americana, and pop among others. Featuring 2007 Grammy Award winning drummer Bill Ray, Chuck Prada from the Black-eyed Peas on Percussions, this band is one to watch, and listen to!
"The textured and sensitive sensuality revealed through throaty vocals, in Shelia Sondergard's recently released "Spoke Too Loud" show her growth and maturation as a promising new up-and-comer. While Sondergard's past work, has lent towards a more angelic meets acoustic sound, "Spoke too Loud" echoes the complexities of finding an independent voice amongst the world of have nots and heartbreaks. Performing with a full band that includes Sean Martin, Jason Littlefield, Jeremy Miller, Bill Ray and Chuck Prada, "Spoke too Loud" commands a larger than life presence, where songs layered in full form stylings and moody undertones reveal the subtleties of Sondergard's confessional style. Stand out tracks like the "Same Ol' Bend" and "Change" illustrate Sondergard's effortless range and wry wit. Overall, "Spoke too Loud" wonderfully highlights a new voice of beauty and independence that is as much pure emotion as insightful intellect". Kelly Grace - Downtown San Diego magazine
